Summary of the contracting process

Rother District Council has concluded the procurement process titled "RDC Architectural Services for Camber Conveniences," falling under the architectural design services industry category (CPV 71220000). This procurement aimed at drafting a project specification for potential Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) funding, followed by subsequent project phases for detailed design and planning. The procurement method used was a limited, competitive quotation approach, suitable for below-threshold tenders. This process has reached the award stage, with the contract active from 20th April 2023 to 30th April 2025. The services will be delivered in the South East, United Kingdom, with an awarded contract value of £122,070.75.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) focusing on architectural design services to partner with a local government entity like Rother District Council. Given the award to DK-CM Limited, another SME, the project underscores the Council’s openness to smaller businesses, enhancing their prospects for growth through public sector projects. Businesses with expertise in feasibility studies, project specifications, and urban planning stand to benefit greatly from such opportunities, which can lead to sustained partnerships and further local government work.
